For the river and the lakes.
The Columbia Outpost Hybrid 2 is the third water shoe I've purchased in one year. I must say, I finally found the one! The other two, non Columbia, either fell apart after 2-3 trips, or they became water logged and didn't seem to fit the title of being a water shoe. These Hybrid 2's are fantastic! As a river kayak angler, I do spend a decent amout of time walking through shallow waters where I have to get out a pull my kayak. These shoes not only protected my feet from sharp edges, but they provided excellent grip on slime covered rock. Some of the locations I fish cause me to make small "hikes" to areas I want to put in. The were super comfortable and allowed my fishing experience that much better. They drain extremely well, and at the same time, keep the small rocks and grime out of the shoe. Hands down, best water shoes on the market! Thanks Columbia!

Hard to Love
I was really excited about this shoe. When it came I thought that they had forgotten the the shoes because the box was so light. I put the shoes on and loved the feel. It was light and comfortable. I poured a bucket of water on my shoe to test the shoe. It kind of dissipated, which was neat. My foot stayed dry. I noticed that the "laces" were extremely long and flopping around. I finally had to tuck them underneath the other laces and they still flopped around. Then the heel strap never, NEVER stays in place.
Finally, I had to cut the laces and tape the ends. I just keep readjusting the heel strap.
I have decided to use it as my running errands shoe. Or if I am going to be near water.
I like the feel of the shoe, I just had higher hopes.

Great shoes
The material and workmanship is great. I had to work on getting them to fit properly, with the laces and heel strap.

This product gets an A+
I purchased these Outpost Hybrid 2 shoes for fishing off my boat and for everyday use. They are so comfortable, you don't even know you have them on. When they get wet, they dry very fast so you don't get that soggy foot feeling unlike regular tennis shoes. I would highly recommend these shoes, if you are around water alot.

The shoes squeak on every step - both feet
I tried using them two days to see if the squeak would stop... it did not.
I need to return them

Great Slip On Sneaker
Bought these to go offshore. Haven't made it out there yet for a true "review". I have worn them to move and they are just as breathable as flip flops. They have good traction and seems like if they get wet, they would dry really quick. They fit just right as well. Definately recommend.

Great trail and water shoe
Took these on our anniversary to Kauai and used them on the Outfitters Kauai Zip Line Tour. They felt great and performed very well. They even look pretty cool and not dorky like some of the other shoes I've seen. No blisters or harsh inside seams like I've read about with other brands. Highly recommended!

great light weight travel shoe
I bought these to wear on a trip to Egypt and Rome. They are super light weight, offer great padded support to cushion the feet and are cool to wear in the heat. I have walked all over Cairo and Rome and the shoes have been wonderful! Great product!!

heel tightning strap
Love the style of the shoe and lightness. I bought the shoe in advance of a mountain trip and could not take them but left them at home. The heel tightening strap does not stay secured there fore letting my heel slip up and down when walking. Very unhappy after paying almost $90.00

Great Shoe
I bought these shoes to wear on my boat and on the beach. I was tired of paying close to $100 for deck shoes so I thought I would try these. They are very comfortable and stylish. The best part is that they provide safe footing on my boat and dry out quickly when wet. They appear to be well made.

Lightweight, Very Comfortable High-Quality Hybrid
Looked at many mall stores for a closed-design hybrid that was lightweight. I found a few from Merrill, Teva, Ecco and Keen; however, I was not willing to pay $125. I researched and found this hybrid online. I was taking a chance on the fit, and bought it unseen. The fit was perfect, the arch is very supportive, and the hybrid utility design was perfect as well. I used for one week in the Carribean, and they work very well boating, fishing, and in sand and water. In dry sand they keep the sand out. Once wet, they will allow some sand in, but a very manageable amount. They dry quickly, and the foot bed is removable for easy sand removal. I've also worn them around the house and yard, and they look and feel just like running shoes. They are confortable for all day wear, unlike any other water shoe. They are easy to take on and off w/adjustable elastic shoe strings and side straps

Great fit and easy on my bare feet!
I have been pleasantly surprised by the versatility and comfort of these shoes. I wore them on a drifting trip on the Deschutes and found they stayed on my feet well-even while walking in strong currents. The mesh worked well although I found some variety of water snail (with a shell about 1/8 inch in size) kept ending up underfoot while in the river. They dry out quickly too. I especially like the inside of the shoe, it's comfortable because it isn't scratchy and irritating to your feet. The outsoles worked pretty well on river rock but perform better on pea gravel and dirt. I'm finding they're a good kick around shoe too.
